I'm worryed with this particular bug because the NMI code added in 2.6.29 where this bootup is hanging has a loop over a variable changing, with a memory barrier in there. It's exactly the kind of thing a compiler error can and has caused in the past. > I have a sid debian sparc available. I'll try to build a kernel with > that compiler and try if it changes anything.
